Grimm's Hollow Review
This is late, but thank you for the detailed review Kylaila! I'm sorry about all the bugs and mistakes in the third cave and the battle system - people have told me that cave is ridiculously hard, so I'm going to work on changing some of the encounters. (The update is coming along slowly though).
Thank you again. :)
Thank you again. :)
Grimm's Hollow Review
Hello Frogge! This is late, but thank you so much for the detailed review - I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it overall.
This is spot on. Yes, I was concerned before releasing the game that some would take the game's more lighthearted approaches to death (balloons, cake, Grimm's entire personality) in a harmful way, and I wasn't sure how to phrase it. Thankfully, so far that hasn't been the case, so I think a rewording is due in an update.
This is 100% my fault for rushing release, since I was notified about some of these errors but didn't playtest properly. Now I'm working on fixing the game, but it's coming along slowly.
Thank you again for the review Frogge. :) It's very insightful, and I'll definitely work to patch up some of its mistakes.

After all, romanticizing death isn't necessarily the same thing as romanticizing suicide, which I think is what the developer was scared would be the issue people have here.

author=FroggeI'm genuinely surprised by the amount of people who found this battle easy, lol. Definitely ramping up that boss fight a bit in a patch - thanks for the feedback!
My only wish regarding battles was a harder final boss. Even without my stats maxed out, it was hilariously easy, and I thought maybe there's a much harder version if your spirit is complete, but it was kind of a shame that there wasn't. Heck, I had to intentionally die twice to see two endings, and that was harder than actually winning the battle.

Nothing gamebreaking or too major, though, but still a little surprising that some of them slipped past beta testers considering this game had a pretty large number of them and most of the bugs I encountered didn't really feel very hidden

I mean.. I am not complaining, but that was featured QUICK LOL.
Couldn't even get a review up before that.
Congrats, ghosthunter!

2019 should forever be known as the RPG Maker 2003 renaissance year.

The game is fine except the one enemy encounter featuring tank boi and cradle. This is a nightmare, it needs to go die, rot in hell, disappear, be incinerated, doomed and be sealed into outer space dimensions to never, ever ever ever ever again return.
Ah, I'm sorry for the balancing issues in one of the encounters! I'm making an update to fix some of the bugs and balancing issues people have pointed out - I'm assuming "tank boi and cradle" is terry (the blue ghost with a shield) and carole (purple healer ghost)? If so, thank you for informing me - if there's any other ridiculous difficulty spikes, let me know :). And I'm happy that you enjoyed the endings, thank you for playing!

Seriously tho, Grimm's Hollow is a fantastic game that truly shows off,
not only the technical, but the incredible creative prowess that rpgmaker2003
still has to offer, almost 20 years after it's initial release.
If you're reading this, this is a must play for 2019. definitely check this one out!
Fantastic work GH! ♥ Please make more games!
AAAAA , thank you so much for your lengthy review LordBlueRouge!♥ I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much and thank you for playing, it was wonderful to have you beta test!
Grimm's Hollow is out on Halloween!

Been following this project for quite some time, it blows my mind how much more polished people are managing to make UIs in 2K3 than people have been able to do with later engines despite them having better tools.
Thank you visitorsfromdreams! For RPG Maker, I think it's because managing UI via code in the later versions might be more difficult to handle, which is why many resort to using plugins for their menus. In 2003, the picture-based event system means you can't create a menu without elaborately planning and creating a mockup beforehand (or you could, but you would cause yourself much frustration) and you're forced to think about your visuals first.

author=FroggeThank you so much! Nice to see people familiar with the blog. :)
I think I may have been following this game on Tumblr! Super nice to see it on this site too, the visuals look top notch. And 2k3 is always a plus.
